Foster's War

267 pp. | Scholastic | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-590-09846-2
(4) 4-6 World War II is the background for the story of a troubled family whose authoritarian father alienates all its members. The historical details, from air raid drills to the internment of Japanese Americans, are thoroughly researched, but the characters seem constructed rather than developed. The focus is split between external forces--the war--and internal struggles within the family so that the two seemed yoked rather than joined.
